index.php in public folder is not loading js and css files

@zool in your .env change APP_URL from

localhost:8000

To

http://localhost/ecommerce/ecommerce/ecommerce/

And then restart yor server and try again

Hey @loyd, Thanks for your answer ! I changed it but still the same.

Try this

composer dump-autoload

php artisan config-clear

php artisan cache-clear

Hi @zool if previously your index was in root (which is wrong at all), I think you have links to your css/js like /public/js/my.js. Then you move index file back to public, so, really links should be now like /js/my.js (without public prefix)

@zool

A Laravel folder structure looks like this. You should undo all the files you have moved etc.

C:\xampp\Laravel
├── app
├── public  <- DocumentRoot must point here
├── vendor
...
└── storage

1. In your case, edit C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf
2. Find DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs" and change it to be DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/Laravel/public"
3. Restart Apache
4. Load http://localhost/ to see your Laravel project, http://localhost/robots.txt should work
5. If things don't work initially, re-install Laravel into the same folder C:\xampp\Laravel

DocumentRoot should be configure to the path of "public" folder under your app, and double check the .htaccess setting..

Hey @binay7587 , thanks a lot for your help ! I did the same but the nothing worked yet !

Hey @silencebringer, thanks a lot for your help ! You are a life saver ! Your solution worked for me, however i'm a littler confused here how it worked. My css and js files were pointing to public/frontend/etc files, then i removed the public/ directory as you mentioned, because i moved the index.php file to public folder, my question is, i could get how index.php is related to my css and js files ? I mean where it catches up the public directory. I appreciate your help !

Hey @laracoft , thanks a lot for your help ! I removed public from my css and js files that were pointing to public folder and it worked fine! I should avoid moving the index.php file from public directory in next projects ;)

Hey @siangboon , thanks a lot for your help !

I removed public from my css and js files that were pointing to public folder and it worked !

My .htaccess looks like this, with this setting is my .env file protected or do i have to change it ? I appreciate your help !

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews -Indexes
    </IfModule>

    RewriteEngine On

    # Handle Authorization Header
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
    RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

    # Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$
    RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,R=301]

    # Handle Front Controller...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>
